new bill criminalising the purchase of sex

[JustinBeaver]

What about the outcall scenario, to a hotel for example, how could guards detect that?

my friend owns a plush hotel and he will grass on anybody who he believes to be up to no good to the police he says,

Ok Eifii my equally clever friend, please tell me don't withdraw cash from an atm outside of a girls apartment just as you are about to go in.

Just found it

[Binlid]

whats he going to do, follow everyone who comes into the hotel to see what room they go to?

[Aftershot]

What if I get agreement to cover up everything and bring camera. Take few shots of girl. I have evidence (in my case, I do photography) I did some job

[Prickly]

|Does it mean a court appearance? Or can they issue a fine through the post? If people can opt for a fixed fine and avoid a court appearance then most will take that route, I imagine.
But the real deterrent is in the humiliation of a court appearance and it's consequences.

I found this: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-ir...-idUSKBN1621UB

Under the new law which came into force on Wednesday, anyone convicted of using a prostitute in Ireland faces a maximum fine of 500 euros ($525) for a first offense and 1,000 euros for a second. Anyone who uses a trafficked woman faces up to five years in jail.

Is that it so? 500 euro fine, or does this go on criminal record?
I really would like to know the consequences, don't mind paying a fine but court appearance would be a disaster.

So is this law now in place or is there still a wait?

[silver26]

Im Waiting for that answer aswell

From what i have read here etc. Its not effective until the Minister signs the commencement order. Problem is there is no way to tell when its signed.

[Dom Dunn]

No it will hold up perfectly fine. I am the victim. You are assaulting me.

Not necessarily true. It would be interesting what the courts would say if their was a written signed contract.
